About this course
This programme is for anyone who works in a workshop.
It’s all about working safely, looking at why accidents happen and how they can be prevented.
General workshop safety training is vital to ensuring that your staff follow best practices and remain safe in the workshop. No two workshops are the same, each with different hazards and machinery, this programme concentrates on general safety awareness, safe working habits and safe operating procedures.
In our General Workshop Safety Training programme, we consider specific hazards that may be found in a workshop, such as dangerous equipment and hazardous substances. As not all hazards are relevant to everyone, these are optional – the information is provided as a pointer to further training that may be needed. For each type of hazard, it explains who needs to know about that particular type of hazard and what the dangers are.
If you work in a workshop you may also be interested in our PPE Training and/or our Abrasive Wheel Safety Training.
This eLearning course only provides awareness education. Face to face training would be needed in addition in order to complete all-round skills and knowledge to be able to carry this forward practically in your organisation.

Good for new employees and apprentices. For time served personnel, not a value added use of employment time.
I took the course early. But now the renewal for next year is at the date I passed the course on. Why cannot this be the same as a car MOT? If I take the course early then ( within a month of expiry ) I can keep the expiry date as the first course next year. ( Currently I only got just over 11 months) on the last certificate. I have no incentive to take the remaining course earlier than their expiry date. It is a basic course, I am a time served technician and found the course no more than a reminder. May I suggest, for those who already have a valid in date certificate the option to go directly to the test at the end? There was no new information since last years presentation. Sorry to say, but basically this course was for me a 35 minute waste of time.
Covers a bit of everything
A good course with just enough on every aspect using a mix of media to keep it reasonably interesting. Only thing I would add is a brief warning just before showing the slightly gruesome images of injuries.
Well presented & easy to follow.
Enjoyable way to learn what is important information.
Great
Easy to use and keep repeating untill you grasp everything
Clear and Concise
It was explained clearly and the test was not made to catch you out
Straight forward
This wasn't too overwhelming as everything was spaced out really well and all the people there were really nice.
Good course

Why is this training important?
Compliance
It’s important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work.
The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999
The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 states that employers must (See page 6):
– Assess risks to the health and safety of their employees and non-employees arising in, or from, the workshop, and review them when there is a significant change. Records of significant findings of the assessment must be kept where there are five or more employees.
– Plan, organise, control, monitor and review the preventative and protective measures taken as a result of the assessment.
– Provide health surveillance where necessary, for example, to help control health risks from metalworking fluids.
– Appoint any competent person(s) needed to help them comply with legal obligations, for example, when having lifting equipment thoroughly examined.
– Set out what should be done in case of serious and imminent danger in the workshop, such as the spillage of a large amount of degreasing solvent.
